2016 Favourites



So with the end of 2016 now here, its my favourite post of the year. Yearly Favourites, mostly super obvious, but hey - I love reading them, and think they round up the year nicely! 



This beauty has just been re-released, and for good reasons too. This is STUNNING. In my opinion everyone should have this one. 

This is every warm toned eyeshadow obsessed girls dream. Every shade you could hope for in one palette. Warm Perfection in a palette.

This has earned it's Holy Grail status online for a VERY good reason, this foundation is incredible, and I am yet to meet someone who didn't like it. I LOVE it. It just makes my skin look flawless, and the number of shades is fab too, there is something for everyone! 

Again this has well and truly earned it's hype online. This is the perfect under eye cover it all concealer. I love the shade range, and the formula is just perfection. Not too thick, not too dry. Just Fab. 



5. Beauty Blender / Sponges 
Ok I admit it, I hated the idea of a sponge to begin with - now I am a total convert. It just makes applying makeup so easy. And I use it for foundation, concealer, contour, highlight, baking.. the list is endless, and these will not be going anywhere over the next year. One of my goals for 2017 is to try an official Beauty Blender though - I still haven't! 

I got this one during summer, and I don't think I used anything else until I decided it was Autumn. The most perfect coral but not too bright so still kind of nude shade. It is just perfection :)

Last year my top pick was Honey Love, this year it needs to be Velvet Teddy - but in complete honesty I use them both equally, and love them both. This one is just rosy, browny perfection. Again all the hype - but it is there for a reason! 

I love the eye brushes from this set the most, especially the A06 which you seem to get in any of their sets. I use this daily for my eye makeup, and it I was to do my eyes using only one brush - this would be the one I would choose. 



I love this shade. Being on the paler side a golden highlight can just look ridiculous, so it is really nice to see a highlight designed for us fair folk, and this one is just perfection. I love it. 

Hello Perfection. I love this shade, and without a doubt the most used this year. About 3 months straight I wore this, fingers and toes! 

11. Bullet Journal Post Here 
This year we have all seen the growth of Bullet Journals, and I have been loving mine. I love tracking my blog growth and stats on there, and cannot wait to do the same in 2017 :)

12. TV Show: Game of Thrones 
This is without even a little bit of doubt the best show I have watched in SO LONG. I binged watched the full thing in a week, and I still cannot stop thinking about it. I need MORE!

I love Tati, I love James and I love Pooka, but mostly Pooka. Mainly I love her for her honest reviews, I love how a couple million followers hasn't changed her, I love how she still spends money on makeup, and still LOVES what she is talking about. You can tell she is enthusiastic over it. But mostly I love how much she posts. She is regular, and reliable. LOVE her content! 

I love her content, her photography, her. I love how despite 50K+ followers on BL she is still the same as she was at 1K, no change. I also love how she has a job other than blogging - it is inspiring and wonderful to see. We also have very similar tastes when it comes to makeup, and I love the content she produces, always well done and thought out. 

15. THE MACBOOK £1599 Full Post Here 
Last but definitely not least my baby... My 15" MacBook Pro. I swear I am now at the point where I don't know how I functioned before I had this. I love how it speaks to my phone, it just KNOWS me, I love how I have my texts, calls, emails, calendar, whats app, photos on here, no fuss. I love how personal it feels, I just love everything about it, and I am never going back to Windows now lol, It is also a total winner for uni/college. Not only is it super fast - it holds its charge ALL day. No charger required. 

What have you loved in 2016? Let me know in the comments below :)

  1. Great favorites! The beautyblender was definitely one of my favorites of the year too. I wasn't crazy about the TOo Faced palette when I swatched it in stores but the colors are very pretty :) That Charlotte Tilbury lipstick is such a gorgeous shade! I don't think I've ever tried a nudey coral before but I totally want to.

  5. You really make me want to get the Sweet Peach palette, I am going to try and see it in person on the weekend so I can swatch it in person. Do you think it will suit my skin tone? I have noticed that a lot of people with quite fair skin seem to like the palette and I am just wondering if the tones will pick up as well on me. Thanks for sharing your favourites, love Tati! Happy New Year Erin x

  9. Jasmine and Tati are some of my favorites too! Whenever Tati recommends something I know it's going to be bomb. I followed a really similar progression with Honeylove and Velvet Teddy x

  17. Girl YES to Game of Thrones! So excited for it to be back, but so sad there's only like 15 episodes left I think and only 2 more seasons.. so sad, BUT really can't wait to see how everything plays out.

    I'm a total beautyblender lover as well. I never thought I would be, but I can't do my makeup without a sponge now!
